Decision Tree Tools

As part of the Bureau of Industry and Security's outreach efforts for the Initial Implementation of Export Control Reform final rule published on April 16, 2013, BIS has developed two new web-based decision tools that will assist users in understanding and applying the CCL Order of Review and "Specially Designed" Definition.

CCL Order of ReviewThe CCL Order of Review Decision Tool will assist users in understanding the steps to follow in reviewing the CCL.

Specially DesignedThe "Specially Designed" Decision Tool will assist users in determining if an item will be "specially designed" under the Export Administration Regulations.

STAThe Strategic Trade Authorization(STA) tool will help users of the License Exception STA determine if they are eligible to use and will be in compliance with License Exception STA.

Note: BIS is in the process of reviewing the STA tool for the 600 series and will be updating it soon.
